Bizarre News - January 17, 2015

Greetings fellow Bizarros:

A woman out of Shangqiu, China took revenge into her own hands, literally, when she discover her husband was unfaithful.

Chinese officials have arrested a married woman who allegedly chopped off her husband's penis after she found his messages to a 21-year-old mistress.

Fan Lung, a 32-year-old father of five, was sleeping when his wife, Feng, cut off his penis with scissors, according to local media reports. She reportedly saw emails he wrote to his lover using her cell phone.

Fan had his penis reattached, but was still in the hospital when Feng returned to cut off his penis once again.

"Staff rushed out to see what was happening and found the patient with blood streaming down his legs hitting the woman," a hospital rep said in a statement. He was stopped and the woman was taken in for treatment, and then we discovered she had chopped his penis off again."

Unfortunately for Fan, authorities were unable to find his severed member, which is thought to have been eaten by a stray dog or cat.

And remember that Valentine's Day is less than a month away!

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Robber recognizes clerk, gives thumbs up --*
WHEAT RIDGE, Colo. (UPI) - Authorities in Colorado said an alleged robber abandoned his plans when he recognized the clerk and decided to instead give a "thumbs up" and rob another store. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said the man was disguising his face with a bandana and the hood of his blue jacket when he walked into the Quick Save store in Wheat Ridge just before 12 p.m. Tuesday. "[Expletive], I was going to rob this place but I know you." the sheriff's office quoted the suspect as saying to the clerk, "Do you know me?" The clerk responded that he did not recognize the suspect, who said "Good" and exited the store with a "thumbs up" aimed at the worker. The incident was recorded by a CCTV camera, the sheriff's office said. "File this in the You Just Can't Make This Stuff Up File," the sheriff's office said on its Facebook page. A suspect matching the same description robbed a 7-Eleven store in nearby Arvada shortly after the aborted crime, investigators said. The sheriff's office has released the CCTV video and still images of the suspect in the hope he can be identified by members of the public.


*-- 'Star Wars' stormtrooper armor blocked snake bite --*
YALBOROO, Australia (UPI) - An Australian man taking a nearly 10,000-mile walk across the country in his Star Wars stormtrooper costume said the armor saved him from a deadly snake bite. Scott Loxley, whose 9,320-mile walk across Australia is aimed at raising money for the Monash Children's Hospital in Melbourne, said he was leaving Yalboroo, Queensland, Wednesday on his way to Mackay when he spotted what appeared to be a dead snake at the side of the road. "He's lunged at me and bit me. But the good news is the armor -- he bit me in the shin -- and the armor actually protected me and stopped the bite," Loxley said. "I could feel the teeth scraping on the plastic, but the armor actually stopped something." Loxley said the stormtrooper armor, long criticized by fans of the franchise as ineffective against attacks ranging from laser blasts to rocks thrown by Ewoks, proved it was in some way effective. "So all those people that rag on the old stormtrooper because you know, the armor doesn't do this, it doesn't do that ... it stopped a snake bite and probably saved my life today," he said. Loxley said the snake appeared to be a king brown snake, ranked as the sixth deadliest snake in Australia by the Australian Geographic.

That is real sad about the homeowner trying to protect his family and nearly bar-b-quing them all! The icicles are forming due to heat loss through the attic which is causing the snow on the roof to melt. Someone should tell him the easiest way to get rid of the icicles is to insulate the attic - after all he is gonna have to renovate for sure! --Mary
[Why do something the right way when the easier way is so much more fun and dangerous.]

Being an old Chitown boy myself, you might want to look at Union workers who hold a post for a month or so then collect full pensions for that position. It wasn't even as far back as Daley but I remember one guy still working that was getting 4 full pensions. --Exiled to WI Johnny
[That's almost as bad as government officials collecting pensions after leaving office and then working in the private sector.]

One of your readers mentioned we have people here who get a job and never show up as welfare recipients. We have others too...Congress and the Senate
[Working 137 "legislative days" a year is hardly never, but close.]
